You’ll be able to grab ‘Mayhem’ as of March 7 and you can pre-order here. Maybe you heard there were billboards in NYC and Vegas teasing the album’s arrival.
The album is 14 songs – produced by Gaga, Michael Polansky and Andrew Watt (this guy has his hand in everything right now, hot!) and featuring producers like Cirkut and Gesaffelstein.
The press release says, “‘Mayhem’ has been promised to reinvent Gaga’s “early sound with a kaleidoscopic approach that draws from her expansive musical library while embracing a fresh and fearless artistic perspective. The album started as me facing my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved.” Gaga also described the process of creating the album as “reassembling a shattered mirror: even if you can’t put the pieces back together perfectly, you can create something beautiful and whole in its own new way.”
You’ll get Gaga’s third single of the album on February 2 during a commercial break at the ’25 Grammy Awards.
Her last album, aside from the Joker 2 soundtrack and the ‘Harlequin’ companion album, was 2021’s ‘Love For Sale’ with late crooner Tony Bennett.
Lady Gaga did an interview Rolling Stone and said she was “just trying to push as much sound as possible” with the album.
“There’s other moments where it’s all about love, and it’s super dreamy,” she added. “That, to me, is true chaos.
“There are times when it’s hard to see the light, but I think sometimes what makes inner chaos harder is when you sometimes get a glimpse of the sun, because you’re like, ‘Man, I wish the sun would shine all the time’, and then it reminds you of what you’re missing.”
“When I write and produce and sing songs, I am always drawing upon my knowledge of the history of music, and so many artists and producers that came before me,” she said. “In that way, this album is a celebration of a lot of the music that made me who I am, because when I returned to a darker pop style of pop, all my early experiences with music came out.”
Meanwhile, Lady Gaga is a headliner for Coachella ’25, alongside Post Malone and Green Day. She also recently became the third act ever to have multiple #1 songs in three different decades.
Lady Gaga is our modern day Madonna. Bright. Alive. Vibrant!
